[Bug 1215927] Re: Impossible to install via many remote KVMs

[Aandr Kad]

I am disabled and cannot press keys fast enough. Just cannot.
Physically. The nerves are just too slow. And this bug makes my already
not so easy life harder. Thank you for creating this marvelous exercise
tool! I have no doubts that by next millennium I will master the skill.
Thanks for trusting in me too, I really appreciate it! Speaking
seriously, this bug makes Linux almost unusable (I switch to ssh under
Windows as fast as I can, to be honest). Especially with KVM as kbd
delay is reset on bloody every re-connection. BTW, the bug is not new.

Title:
  Impossible to install via many remote KVMs

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The default Linux keyboard repeat rate is set about as fast as it can
  be (in terms of the timeouts it will respect). This makes it almost,
  if not entirely, impossible to successfully and accurately complete a
  server (or desktop alternate) install over any kind of network latency
  (e.g. a KVM session to a machine on another continent).

  At the very least the server install image should include kbdrate, but
  ideally the installer image would simply drop the timeout to levels
  more reasonable in a world of fixed circumference and optic fibres.
